Abstract

Copper nanowires of diameter 80 nm were synthesized in polycarbonate membrane using template technique. Samples were then implanted with 160 keV O−1 ion beam with varying particle fluence of 1 × 1012, 5 × 1012 and 1 × 1013 ions/cm2. The SRIM (Stopping and range of ions in matter) software was used to study the processes involved. Compositional analysis confirms implantation of oxygen ions and the stoichiometry of Cu:O was found to be 6:1 by weight % when implanted at 1 × 1013 ions/cm2. Scanning electron microscopy reveals no changes in morphology of nanowires on implantation. X-ray diffraction analysis showed no shifting in the ‘2θ’ position of diffraction peaks however some new diffraction peaks of oxygen were seen. Implantation with oxygen ion led to the increased crystallite size and reduced strain. The conductivity of the nanowires was found to increase linearly with the ion fluence presenting constructive effect of negative ion implantation on copper nanowires.
